“In all three incidents, miniature cameras hidden in coat hooks were found mounted on the walls in the women’s restrooms. They were found at Anne’s Beach on May 26th, the Circle K Store at the 99.8 mile marker of Highway U.S. One on May 28th and in the women’s bathroom at Harry Harris Park in Tavernier [on May 31].”

The hooks support MicroSD cards that can record up to 16 gigabytes of HD footage over 2 hours.

I can see how this would be useful to place in your office if you were convinced somebody was stealing from you. But far more people are using them to be perverted and spy on unsuspecting women and children.

So how do you spot one?

It’s actually quite easy to notice one of these devices if you know what you’re looking for. They look like simple plastic coat hooks – except that they have got a very small hole in the top portion. That’s the lens.

Some will even have a button on the side to activate the motion detection feature. Others will have a light that will be painfully easy to see if the coat hook is white, but tricky to spot if the hook is black.
